Xavi: Mateu Lahoz let the game get out of control
The coach did say it was his own team's fault they did not win the match
Xavi did not want to heat things up after the derby clash with Espanyol so he said his team were to blame for not beatine Espanyol.
"The draw was our fault, we can talk about the referee but the problem was our lack of effectiveness. We had a very good first half our, created 22 chances, but when you aren't efficient you give life to the rival and in the second half we didn't go out with the right intensity. We finished the year drawing with Real Madrid but we lost two points and it's our fault."
On the referee he said: "He lost control of the game, Mateu is a referee who gives you the sense that he's in control of the game but it was not the case today and I told him at the end of the game. He was giving out senseless cards."
He added: "I don't blame him for anything, the fault is ours. I have to control what's up to me."
